The reason cited by the developer Vostok Games and publisher Focus Home Interactive was that after listening to the community feedback during the closed beta, they will need more time to improve the game. In a press release, the developer stated, “The positive community feedback encouraged us to delay the release of the Early Access to ensure the well-received core experience isn’t marred by technical issues.” Of course, a minor delay is not a big deal if it helps the game secure a more successful launch to the public.

We’ll just have to wait for more information on when exactly the game will be entering Early Access.
